Terry Gilliam released this movie back in 1985 and it sure as hell doesn't look it. The version i watched was off my Criterion Collection dvd, and felt like a completely different movie. A lot of people have some issues with this film being that, there isn't much of a plot here but you really get to know Sam and love him a lot. In my opinion that is what a lot of movies lack now in days. This version focuses a lot more on the relationship between Sam and Jill and it still comes off as an excellent film. Gilliam is best known for this artsy, spacey style like in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and of course his Monty Phyton days. This film doesn't break that style at all and still brings a gorgeous fantasy element to it. Deniro's character will always be hands down one of my favorites in this film. I love the fact that he'll come in, save the day and then escape by swooping down a cable line and right into a window and disappear, its perfect. This movie will always be hands down, my favorite Gilliam movie.
Two amazing quotes:
Jill: Care for some Necrophilia? Hmm?
Holly: Put it on, big boy. I won't look at your willy.
9/10
